Electrical Design Engineer Jobs in New Jersey

INTRODUCTION

Seeking an experienced Electrical Hardware Design Engineer to support development of advanced scientific imaging and detection systems. This role focuses on the design of high-speed mixed-signal electronics and sensor interface hardware used in precision instrumentation environments. The position bridges low-noise analog design with FPGA-based digital control and high-speed data acquisition. This is not a consumer electronics role. The work centers on scientific-grade instrumentation hardware involving sensitive imaging sensors, precision signal chains, and high-performance data systems.

ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITIES

- Design and develop mixed-signal circuit boards for high-speed imaging and light detection systems
- Support full product lifecycle including definition, design, qualification, and production support
- Design low-noise, wide-bandwidth analog front-end circuits for sensitive sensor signal conditioning
- Develop FPGA-based high-speed digital circuitry for sensor command, control, and data handling
- Support implementation of high-speed sensor interfaces and data acquisition pathways
- Guide multi-layer PCB design including stack-up definition, component placement, and routing strategy
- Participate in board bring-up, validation, and troubleshooting
- Contribute to board-level test fixture design and production support activities

BASIC QUALIFICATIONS

- Strong background in both analog and digital electrical engineering principles
- Experience designing low-noise, high-bandwidth mixed-signal circuits
- Hands-on experience with data acquisition systems and high-speed digital interfaces
- Experience with FPGA-based hardware designs and high-speed signal paths
- Knowledge of system-level power distribution and power management techniques
- Ability to guide complex multi-layer PCB designs for signal integrity and noise control
- Proficiency using lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, spectrum analyzers, and power supplies
- Strong troubleshooting and hardware debug skills

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

- Background working with scientific instrumentation, analytical devices, or precision imaging systems
- Experience supporting hardware from prototype through production
- Familiarity with sensor-based imaging or detection systems
- Prior experience contributing technical direction within engineering teams
